Glad it was helpful!

Check out our page for the awning walls video, yet to get to the shower but it’s on the “to do” list 😊

That is a pity! Hopefully something similar!

It goes a bit further past and around behind the campsite, not a whole lot more water but a bit 👍 nice to kayak on for sure!

Ahhhh, thanks for the info! We will have to check it out!

If you skip back to the window section of our review you can see the inbuilt fly screens that are installed into the windows :)

Such a great adventure! Thanks for taking the time to watch 😊

We’ve had our Rover for more than 2 years. We bought the Ultra and don’t regret it. Essentially you need to figure out what is important to you. Some things can be retrofitted/purchased afterwards. Things we would consider essential are: Stone guard (even with it you get quite a few chips), electric brakes, sirocco fans (although you can save a lot by fitting them yourself), extra awning walls for bad weather, fixed ladder if you want to store things on the roof or have a roof top tent. Desirable: Awning and walls for other side (or the person on that side gets wet in bad weather). Fold out exterior shelf is also very useful. Stuff I wouldn’t bother getting: Draft skirt (have never used it). Luxuries: We have an inverter and use it to run a coffee machine and occasionally a blender. It takes up a lot of space but we like having it. We also have the 12V AC. We have used it as we didn’t have the sirocco fans. Now that we have those, I suspect we wont use the AC much (it’s very noisy). Having the 240v system is nice, especially if you are at a powered site (and don’t need to worry about batteries) but we haven’t done that much. Stockman/Camperact were very flexible and helpful during purchase. We didn’t want the stove and so they swapped it out for a solar blanket. They were also great to work with as we wanted a RTT (which needed a specially made platform) and wanted a different tap for the sink. Issues we’ve had: to preface this, I think things will break/come loose in all camper trailers if driving on our outback tracks. Awning walls tearing at the bottom connections (we had our reinforced) and not long enough to reach the ground (only an issue if you have the 30 sec dome tent and Stockman now sell extenders). Vent fan broke (Stockman are sending us the part and they have changed to a different vent, I assume as a few of us have had issues). We’ve replaced the stabilisers as we lost some of the plastic feet. Put larger washers to hold the water tank. Added a clip to fridge door (door fell off on very rough corrugated road). After service with Stockman has been great. They are easy to contact, give great advice and fix/send parts if required. We recently have been a little disappointed with Camperact who have been difficult to contact for a service. Basically, work out what is important to you and if you can trial one. Also Carl has setup a great public facebook page where you can ask other owners for their opinions facebook.com/groups/229238723080107/

Thanks so much for your detailed reply.

Hi Phil, Sorry for the late reply. We love our Rover and also went straight from tents. It has been such a nice transition from lugging around a tent and sleeping mats. Stockman has been great, we haven't had a lot of contact but of what we have they have been lovely. If we purchased again I would opt for the same model, the intrepid, in the middle but would probably upgrade the battery and solar setup. It's hard to pick negatives unless you are being really picky and being our first caravan/camper we have nothing to compare to, we tend to just adapt to things, but the 2 dissapointments were the fridge fan which I mention in the video and the roof lining has come away in some sections inside the cab which I forgot to mention but nothing horribly bad. I believe since we bought in Nov 2021 they have made a fair few changes to a few things so it could be different now. I have not seen that camper, there are so many on the market these days. We just simply fell in love with the Rover and decided on that, I recommend going to view a few campers that interest you because originally I loved the Sherpa by BRS off-road but when I went to view it I didn't like it at all, just not our style so I think its a personal choice. Anyway, good luck with your choice and enjoy whatever you decide on :)

Thank you for taking the time to reply. We went to the Brisbane Caravan/Camping Show, held a couple weekends ago. Unfortunately, Stockman weren't present but we got to see many, many other options. We're now more confused than ever 😂!

@@philclose7063 haha, understandable! We recently watched the ‘fire to fork’ guy go out in a cub caravan… it looked pretty neat and tidy.. when we one day upgrade I want some inside space for the bad weather days 😉

Our pleasure! Thanks for taking the time to watch 😊

Thanks for the tip.

We got ours 2 years ago now and I know they have changed a few things… probably best to shoot them an email or contact through the website 👍

Hi Jan 😊 we have taken it along a few deeply rutted roads, nothing serious as yet. We did break the plastic foot on one stabilising legs in a big rut but it doesn’t really affect it.. have you watched our Rover review video? Only issue we have had is with the fridge fan. I think they say the 90% thing because of the location of the spare wheel underneath… it makes the clearance a bit lower 👍

@@roverinroundoz thanks guys, I did see that episode. Thanks so much. I’m selling up and going feral. Regards Jan

Enjoy! We love to get feral as often as possible 😂

This is at Araluen Campsite, beautiful spot!!

Hi Michelle, We have filmed the awning setup over the long weekend and it will be posted up tonight. But to answer your questions.... yes the awning is waterproof, it is strong quality but still canvas (we had ours rip in a storm but I fixed it with an extra screw and some fishing line), there are gaps! If you want to be totally out of the weather with no gaps for air or bugs this is not the setup for you. Checkout the review tonight and hopefully it will help answer questions for you :)

Hey Brian! Bear with us we have been super busy recently. Back into it and those videos should be done soon 🙏

Hey! The little black bed in the video pops up into a igloo that we pop under the rover… we have a little mesh cover that goes over the top of it all to stop the mozzies getting at her at night.

Bear with us! We are heading out to do that video really soon 👍

@@roverinroundoz, wonderful editing, great content. I'll be patient ;)

Hi! It doesn't impede with the strap to pull the awning tight BUT you have to get the shower tent out before you attach the awning strap. We will be doing a video on the awning and shower tent soon :)

@@roverinroundoz I thought that may have been the case. I was simply curious, thanks for the reply. Loving the videos btw, cheers Paul.

No problems! Should be more adventure coming soon with the warmer weather here 🙏

We picked that up at BCF a few months ago. Campfire brand 👍 this link will take you to them. www.bcf.com.au/p/campfire-mesh-grill-and-flat-plate-combo-46x33cm/312035.html?cgid=BCF022505#start=4

Hi! Thanks for the comment. The walls take about 5 minutes each depending on the ground 😉 we have the dome attachment but rarely use it unless the rain is expected or we have our kids with us. Check out the Araluen or Gloucester videos for a quick look at the walls and tent. We are going to do a full awning setup video soon so stay posted 👍

Thank you 🙏 getting out and about whenever we can 😉

Cheers 😊
